A Taste of Egypt


 Shawarma Chicken
Thin slices of savoury chicken, cooked on  slowly revolving rotisserie, served on a bed of basmati rice with house dressing.

SERVICE:  Our server was new at her job, but she was eager to take care of us.  It was not busy and she got to take the time to keep us happy.  We were very happy.  Monday is a great time to eat out.

QUALITY:  We spoke with the owner and I tried to pry out of him his cooking secrets.  What I did get was that the meat marinates for 24 hrs in citrus juices and many many spices.  This was the best chicken I've ever had, the spices were not overwhelming and the meat melted in my mouth.  The menu is comparable to Greek food.

ATMOSPHERE:  This restaurant has recently opened.  The building was a former jewelry store and the new owner has incorporated that design into an Egyptian Theme, well done.  A soft gold paint on the walls, many ornaments and lots of Arabic music and videos.  Wonderful setting for an evening out.

VALUE:  I found the prices very reasonable.  What does drive your bill up are the appetizers and soft drinks.  We should not mix entrees and appetizers, the appetizers block the flavours of the main dishes.

Would I pay a return visit:  I am excitedly waiting to return again next week.
